Abstract

The reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/NiFe2O4 composite was synthesized by a facile one-pot hydrothermal route, which avoided the usage of chemical reducing agent. The reduction of graphene oxide (GO) and the crystallization of NiFe2O4 crystals happened in a one-step hydrothermal process. The morphology, microstructure and magnetic properties of the composite were detected by means of XRD, XPS, TEM, EDX, TG-DSC and VSM. The maximum RL of the RGO/NiFe2O4 composite is -39.7 dB at 9.2 GHz with the thickness of 3.0 mm, and the absorption bandwidth with the RL below -10 dB is up to 5.0 GHz (from 12.7 to 17.7 GHz) with a thickness of 1.9 mm. The introduction of RGO signally enhanced microwave absorption performance of the NiFe2O4 NPs. It is believed that such composite will be applied widely in microwave absorbing area.
